You can’t just relicense contributions willy-nilly

It's a good thing that the MIT licence allows sublicencing, which means that you can add a single GPL file to a project to immediately relicence it to the GPL as a combined work.

IANAL, but this does not cancel the MIT license retroactively. MIT fork is still possible.
